Personally for the new elecs I'm mostly interested in the secondary. My new pet project will be a kat/elec, quick and easy to softcap melee with divine, crank up my recharge to a silly proportion to perma Energize and I'll call it a day. The elec primary, eh...I played it on a brute and I wasn't to impressed.

If to hit is really a major worry for you I'd put in a kismet unique. Costs no endurance and takes up one defense spot which you should very much have.

Ran it with 4 tweaked out DM/SDs a ?/SR and 3 others I forget. It was pretty epic. Beat it in 25 minutes.

First and foremost my advice, learn the ATs, what do they do, what is their basic premise, then go into the snazzier things where you can make an AT do silly things that make people double take when you succeed. Every AT has a very basic premise of what they do.

Tanks- Your main job is to keep everyone alive via aggro management and herding critters for the "squishies" to lay into. All about keeping yourself alive with your shield powers to keep the others alive, attacks are a secondary for a reason.

Scrappers- ...don't know if I should advice on these guys cuz of how biased I am towards them...but...scrappers are awesome! I mean...scrappers are the safe DPS machines who can take a hit and stay alive. All about finding a balances with your attacks and defense powers.

Blasters- You're a DPS machine with a jaw of glass, you really want someone in front of you to keep your rear alive. Ranged attacks are a primary for a reason, you have some melee attacks but those should be a last resort at first.

Defenders- Support, support, support. That's your job. You keep every one alive by buffing and debuffing and healing. You have some of the bests buffs and debuffs in the game, use them.

Controllers- One of the broadest character choices in the game, they have a lot they can do. Initial concept is riddle the enemy with status effects while buffing and debuffing.

Peacebringers and Warshades- These guys are advanced and I really don't advise even bothering to roll one up until you've learned the game mechanics well because it's very easy to get confused on what you want to do with them.

As I said these are the original and generic uses for these ATs. Later when you've learned more about the game and can tweak stats it's quite possible to have ATs evolve way beyond their original intentional usage. That's it for the hero types. I'll let someone else talk about the ebil guys.

Being told a power set isn't "good". Yeah...every set in the game has it's place, some might not be as versatile and OP, doesn't make other sets bad.

This thread is still here? <_<

*salutes the bridge with a tear in his eye*

Happy b-day GP.

Happy birthday Blue, so what do we do? Go out and kill one GM for each year?

I never checked, do the ships auto-hit or do they have a tohit check? Get 4-5 rads on it and a ton of assault people it might be possible.

Nothing I didn't know already.

Go into the power info screen. You'll see several damage effects that are percentile based. That's your chance of crit damage going off.

I'm fairly new to the forums, 2 years old to the game, and a huge scrapper fanatic. I find some of these numbers pretty interesting. I think I might have to roll me a MA scrapper.

But as for the Scrappers vs Brutes debate...eh...I see the difference at times it does look like brutes have the advantage but then again I do enjoy being able to jump straight in and do full damage from square one with out being bugged by lack of fury from massive mezzes. But on the other hand most scrappers I roll can solo AVs, brutes I've rolled can solo AVs. Brutes have a slight survivability over scrappers, do I think it's enough to change either AT? Eh...give scrappers a tiny bit more base HP and call it squarsey? Heh.

Why not add a -10% regen to catgirls, for a total of -30% for all the hot pink powered "Love" ones we know are coming.


That oughta curb the population..
That...or a giant poisoned whale.., hmm where can I find a whale this time of year?

Just ask May to do her instant kill on you. Enjoy your whale.

I thought May's instant-kill was summoning the jellyfish pirate crew to run past and fall on you?

The whale is one of her EX hyper attacks. OHKO is the Jellyfish Pirate stampede with death by old lady falling on you.

Yeah, that second one really took it out of me.

Very informative! I'll have to keep that in mind next time I decide to make some bacon.

What about a scrapper who likes to think he can tank? <.<

o_O

That is all.

I'm good at downing yellows, sadly it looks like all my Saturday time slots will be gone due to work.

I had some golden moment in AE today. I saw a Dark/Dark scrapper and ended up teaming with him sadly. He was level 24, pl'd there obviously, had only been playing 4 weeks it comes out. He had 3 travel powers, took jump kick to get super jump, took flurry to get super speed and took aerial superiority to get flight. He had mostly been paying attention to his attacks and had only taken two shields, one was the damage aura. Also no stamina and he liked to run all his toggles at once, two attacks, endurance bottomed out, I'm guessing he wasn't enhanced either. *head desk*

*sits back up* But I'm not done! I click around to look at some of the builds. Next I see a Dark/Dark defender. No twilight grasp, no fearsome stare, no shadow fall, no howling twilight. But get this, they went into the healing power pool. I was thinking "Why the 'eff are you playing a dark defender if you aren't even going to take some of the best powers?

Double saved.

Hmm, first time I've seen this thread and I'm slightly surprised I don't have more quotes in here. You're fired!

That was one crazy party *lampshade still on head*

Gratz to the Pingus for 4 years and one helluva a party!

Welcome to the champ server. I'm one of the local loonies so don't take anything I say to serious.
